Though Tandem Diabetes has made a splash in the insulin pump market as the latest entrant in the US, the firm is still endeavoring to establish itself as a major competitor. On this rather lengthy path between the initial 2012 launch of its original t:slim pump and consistent positive earnings, Tandem still has a few years to go, from our perspective.
Tandem’s t:slim X2 features a low-profile, color touchscreen that is very user-friendly for patients new to insulin pumps.
Medtronic arguably enjoys more accurate and advanced algorithms thanks to its far larger patient user base and proprietary data—a major reason why it remains a step ahead of Tandem in closing the loop.
